Second time around...


Saturday 19th February saw our second group gathering where we had a crafty swapshop and gave eachother the opportunity to clear out some craft clutter. Turns out we have quite a few hoarders amongst us (is that a crafter characteristic?) and we had an impressive array of craft supplies, books, magazines, equipment and tools ready for a new home. Some of us took home more than we had offloaded and some of us proudly returned home to space and order knowing our unwanted bits and pieces had gone to a better place.
This activity didn't warrant too many visuals which is a good job since here come the photos from our February 6th art and craft fair - at last!

The Coach House
We didn't have the best of weather for our second event but that certainly didn't stop people coming down to support us. In spite of wind, rain and general gloominess, the Coach House was packed (and it seemed to be standing room only in Cafe Ambio!) with dedicated art and craft enthusiasts as well as pleasantly surprised chance visitors. We got some wonderful feedback; both compliments on what we were doing well and constructive suggestions for what we could do differently to improve future events.

Now for those who missed it (shame shame know your name) you will be taken around the event, maker by maker!
The entrance housed Silvermousey and Wudstock who both battled courageously with the wind-tunnel created by two sets of doors and a blustery day. You then found the following delights in our downstairs area:
